REPORT TO THE NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL RECOVERY 

BOARD 

NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL RECOVERY BOARD, 

National Recovery Adm.inistration, 

lV ashingt01i, D. 0. 

GENTLEMEN : This is a report on a proposed amendment to the 

Code of Fair Competition for the Radio Broadcasting Industry. 

An application was duly made by the Code Authority on behalf of 

the Industry for approval of the amendment, and opportunity to be 

heard was afforded to all members of the Industry. 

The purpose of the amendment is to auJ-horize the Code Authority, 

upon approval of the National Industria.l Recovery Board, to incur 

and pay necessary obligations and to secure equitable contributions 

from members of the Industry for the support of administering 

the Code. 

The amendment is administrative in nature and is proposed. as a 

substitute for Article VI, Section 8 of the Code, which was designed 

to provide the Code Authority with a means of raising revenue to 

support the administration of the Code. However, this Section is 

cou ·hed in vague and uncertain language and it was deemed ad visable by the Code Authority to submit this proposed amendment. 

The Indu try is compo ed of 550 members and there are approximately 10,000 employees. In order to properly administer the various provi ions of the Code, it is neces ary that the Co le Authority 

incur reasonable obliCYations and raise funds with which to meet these 

obligations. It is desirable that the Code Authority continue with 

the administration of the Code since the Code and the administra- tion of it by the Code Authority effectuates the purposes and policies 

of Title I of the National Industrial Recovery Act. 

I find in conclusion that the amendment which is attached 

hereto was duly submitted by the Code Authority in conformity with 

Article VI, Section 10, Subsection (i) of the Code of Fair Competition for the Radio Broadcasting Industry and that said amendment 

complies in all respects with the pertinent provisions of Title I of 

the National Industrial Recovery Act, and that the amendment is 

well designed to effectuate the policies set forth in Title I of the Act. 

I therefore recommend to the National Industrial Recovery Board 

the approval of the said amendment to the Code of Fair Competition 

for. the Radio Broadcasting Industry. 

Respectfully, 

Approved: 

WILLIAM p. FARNSWORTH, 

Deputy Adminvstrator. 

SoL A. RosENBLATT, 

Division Admvnistrator.
